What Shakes Out?

Session 8.34 Starter

Podcast

Introduction

The author speaks of God “shaking out” those things which are not of God (hate, strife, enmity, war, abuse) so that what remains are those things which cannot be shaken out (faith, love, generosity). What are those things in our own life that need a thorough shaking? Is it our job to do the shaking, or is it God’s?

Scripture: Hebrews 12:18-29

You have not come to something that can be touched, a blazing fire, and darkness, and gloom, and a tempest, and the sound of a trumpet, and a voice whose words made the hearers beg that not another word be spoken to them. (For they could not endure the order that was given, ‘If even an animal touches the mountain, it shall be stoned to death.’Indeed, so terrifying was the sight that Moses said, ‘I tremble with fear.’)But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable angels in festal gathering, and to the assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God the judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.
